Abstract

A hard disk drive assembly is electrically connected to a printed circuit board assembly motherboard using a connector on the hard disk drive assembly connected with a mating connector mounted on the motherboard. The hard disk drive assembly is secured to standoffs that allow sufficient space between the hard disk drive assembly and the motherboard for an integrated circuit package to be positioned between the hard disk drive assembly and the motherboard.
